The Losses Continue to Pile Up

Bottom line: We've lost over 16 plays and trimmed approximately 14 minutes from the average game in 2006 compared to 2005. Scoring is also down over five points a game. This is the impact of rule 3-2-5-e. Thanks once again to Marty of the great cfbstats for providing this information, along with the shortest and longest games of Week 9. And a reminder to sign the resolution protesting 3-2-5-e at We Hate the New Clock Rules. Over 17,500 fans have already signed the resolution.
